<p>Hi C4J. I am so sorry to hear this and thank you for your observations. I think that, with advanced cancers, the docs have nothing much to offer and so go with whatever the drugs companies tell them works ("works" being maybe 2 6 more months. I don't call that working.) I do know of some men who have reduced pain due to Xofigo. To my mind, chemo is the equivalent of lunacy, unless it is 25% of the dose to reduce tumour load, combined with hyperthermia or some other modality, as done in Switzerland, Germany and Japan. Radiation travelling around in the veins seems just as ludicrous.</p>
<p>Wishing you and yours the very best.</p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am sorry for the conditions of your husband and appreciate your posting about his experiences with the treatments. Maybe it is too early in the therapy to get definite result. I hope he gets better.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Each case is different and many do better than others in certain treatments. I wonder if his symptoms are due to just one of the drugs or to the combination. However, advanced cases of cancer have not many options of therapies to choose from, once the cancer has metastasized to several parts in the body. In these cases probably something palliative becomes better if it assures higher quality of life.</span></span></p>
